Well actually by the time I am writing this post he is already 1 year and almost 2 months old. But it is a perfect time to recap his second half of the baby stage since he has just started walking and is slowly transitioning to toddler. He has been a bit slower in development, I would say 2 months behind, compared to Nolan. At the same time, I actually thought that younger siblings are faster since they have older sibling around, but I guess at the end of the day everybody develops on their own speed! :) Logan 9 months Day Care Logan started to go to daycare when he was close to 9 months old. We were lucky that we got the spot at the same institution where Nolan is going, and it is just around the corner so super close. Nolan though goes to forest kindergarten but the bus leaves and drops off the kids at the same spot. Kevin was the one responsible for integration period since he was on paternity leave until Logan was 11 months old. Overall, it went very smooth, and the teachers said t

Autumn was quite hard last year in terms of sicknesses, so I really needed to escape somewhere warm. My first taught was Tenerife, but it was actually cheaper to go to Dubai. We actually stayed about 1 hour drive from Dubai in Ras Al Khaimah. It felt like driving to in the middle of nowhere 😁. The area was artificially built and mainly for big hotel chains and tourists. I choose this area first because it was cheaper and secondly there were activities for kids and kids pool. I also wanted the hotel to be by the beach. In central Dubai it can cost quite some money to have all these criteria's filled.  Great sunsets from the room FLIGHT We flew there with Emirates and it was great. About 7 hours from Copenhagen. Nolan was pretty occupied by watching cartoons and Logan somehow also either was sleeping or entertained by sth. They also gave out different goodie bags for kids and took polaroid picture of families with children. On the way back one seat with bassinet was even assigned to

We travelled to Koh Samui at the end of my maternity leave in June. We chose Koh Samui since we wanted to go to Thailand, and it was not rainy season there yet. However, I would say that it was still too hot for the baby and toddler even though it was partly cloudy most of the time and it rained every other day. Not for full day, but mostly late afternoon or early evening. Only one day it rained in the morning. We stayed there 3 weeks, so it was fine to have some cloudy days. Definitely worth visiting - overlap stone! I bought the plane tickets and booked the hotel around end of January. It was direct flight to Bangkok from Copenhagen and the short flight from Bangkok to Koh Samui. Plane tickets cost about 1000 euro per grown-up and the 3-year-old price was around the same. Ticket for baby was almost nth compared to that. Hotel with breakfast for 3 weeks was around 2000 euros and we used there for food, trips and some shopping around 1500 euro. So, the total cost for the trip was appro
